Momtastic and I are teaming up to create a line of outfits and co-ordinating bags for tweens. I made a sample of a bag in a style I’m thinking of using for the line. (Line is as yet un-named. We’re still thinking!)

I’m making stock for the craft fair at a local gem/mineral shop. Space is free so I thought, why not?!

Didn’t have much time today so I only made two things. Both of these have outer shells of Japanese linen. I like the embroidered flower on the teal one! (Speaking of embroidery, I taught LittlestCatHead to do a French knot today and she did it perfectly! She also free-hands embroidery. No pattern for this girl!)

Beads from the 1800s

Linen with embroidery

My favorite little extra touch of ribbon

And now for something completely different. A Raja with a huge head.

Perspective

I made the skirt LittlestCatHead is wearing. But I mainly wanted to show you what Raja likes doing most: lying on his Mama.

Isn’t that just fun to say? I’ve been wanting to buy a zakka book for a while now. What finally hooked me was borrowing Dagmar’s book Zakka Sewing a few days ago. There are so many gorgeous cute projects I want to start. I figured I might as well have my own copy! Watch this space because the book should arrive any day now.
